Focuses on bridge programming, supplemental credit-bearing
coursework, and student support and intervention systems.
Aligning Standards and Assessments
• Agreement on what constitutes “readiness”
Standards
and indicators of readiness.
• Common learning outcomes for readiness.
• Kentucky Adult Education adopted the CCS.
